1966 Map of Counselor

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Counselor serves as a central point in this high-desert landscape of northwestern New Mexico, situated near the boundary between Rio Arriba and Sandoval counties. The settlement is defined by the presence of the Brethren Navajo Boarding Sch, indicating the era's institutional footprint within the region. To the east, the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation Bdy marks a significant jurisdictional transition across a terrain carved by numerous drainages, including Escrito Canyon, Gallo Canyon, and Vernado Canyon. Industrial activity is evident on the plateau, where the San Juan Basin Gas Field and scattered Oil Wells appear alongside a Pumping Sta. The dominant natural feature is the expansive Snahyel Mesa, which dictates the movement of travel along various Jeep Trails that navigate the ridges and canyon floors.
